When Pain or Illness Shapes Your Days
Living with ongoing pain or illness can quietly take over your life. You may look “fine” to others while inside you’re exhausted from trying to manage symptoms, appointments, and emotions that come with them. It’s common to feel frustrated with your body, anxious about flare-ups, or isolated when people don’t truly understand what you’re going through. You might notice that the harder you fight your pain, the more your stress and tension grow. You may grieve the life you used to have, or feel guilty for not being able to “push through” like you once did.
In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reduce emotional suffering, even when physical symptoms remain. You’ll learn practical tools to:
Ease the anxiety, frustration, and guilt that often accompany chronic conditions
Calm the mind–body loop that keeps pain and stress feeding each other
Reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy
Build confidence in managing daily life with greater balance and compassion
Our sessions combine cognitive and emotional tools with mindfulness-based practices. You’ll track your progress each week and practice brief daily exercises that retrain the brain’s stress response — supporting both emotional and physical resilience.
I BELIEVE:
Pain and illness don’t define you — they reveal your strength and capacity to adapt.
Emotional healing supports physical healing; they work together, not apart.
You deserve care that honors your whole experience, not just your symptoms.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up; it means finding peace even in uncertainty.
Humor, gentleness, and self-compassion are powerful forms of medicine.
Also Integrated In Our Work:

• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I have specialized expertise in the psychological components of chronic pain, recognizing that persistent pain involves complex interactions between the body and mind. I work with clients to move beyond the biomedical model by employing evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Chronic Pain and acceptance-based approaches. My focus is on reducing pain-related distress, managing the associated symptoms like insomnia and depression, and decreasing the fear-avoidance cycle. By understanding the brain's role in pain perception, I help clients build resilience, increase their daily functioning, and improve their overall quality of life, even while living with pain. I also live with chronic pain (nerve pain) and know how challenging it is to manage the psychological aspects of it!

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for individuals living with chronic illness and chronic pain in a way that honors the wisdom of your body and the realities of ongoing symptoms. I understand that there is a deeply complex relationship between ongoing pain and our emotional worlds. Our work creates space to explore the emotional, relational, and nervous system impacts of living in a body that may feel unpredictable or demanding, and connecting with your body's needs, without pressure to push through or "fix." Some of our work might focus on building self-compassion, exploring grief and sadness related to chronic illness, and cultivating sustainable ways of caring for yourself rooted in dignity, agency, and meaning, even in the presence of pain and discomfort.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
For clients with Chronic Health Conditions, often we encourage brain retraining via Gupta or other programs as an adjunct, and/or bio/neurofeedback including SSP, which we can offer remotely. Our practice focuses more on the deeper care for what might have been the conditions prior to the chronic health condition setting in, or work from a remote CranioSacral model. Clients might also seek functional and/or integrative approach to easing and managing symptoms and flares. We could apply an intersectional lens to work through ableism trauma as well, as an example.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have personal experience with chronic pain, illness and autoimmune diseases, which helps my clients feel seen and understood. I've witnessed how pain and symptoms can flair up during times of stress or when emotions aren't being fully felt. One of the gifts of my work is witnessing chronic pain move out of the body when trauma and suppressed emotions are released. I've helped numerous people navigate life altering diagnoses, cancer, IBS, Crohn's Disease, Lupus, Alopecia, Hashimotos Disease, and more.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, EDS, dysautonomia, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and other complex health challenges often requires carrying far more than symptoms alone. It can involve grief, uncertainty, medical trauma, identity shifts, fluctuating capacity, inaccessible systems, financial strain, changing relationships, and the ongoing labor of adapting to a body whose needs may change from one day to the next.
My work recognizes that living with chronic illness is not simply a medical experience. It is also a nervous system experience, an emotional experience, a relational experience, and often a deeply existential one. Together, we create space for the realities of grief, relief, adaptation, advocacy, relationship, resilience, choice, and survival while exploring ways to reconnect with your body that are rooted in compassion rather than conflict and pushing through.
Drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience navigating complex chronic health conditions, I understand how easy it can be to internalize narratives that equate worth with productivity, independence, consistency, or achievement. Our work centers honoring your body's wisdom, challenging internalized narratives, cultivating self-trust, and building a life that supports your wellbeing rather than requiring you to constantly override your needs.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Living with chronic illness or ongoing pain can deeply affect mood, energy, and emotional well-being. I work with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion related to chronic health conditions, using an integrative approach that considers both medical and mental health contributors. Care focuses on understanding how physical symptoms, nervous system stress, sleep, and medications interact with mood, while offering thoughtful psychiatric support and guidance. The goal is to help reduce emotional burden, improve daily functioning, and support a greater sense of stability and quality of life.
